Remember when he sent this e-mail to you and you asked me about it? Then I forwarded you the e-mail interview at your request and you checked them over and explained his mistake to him and you told me he admitted to being in error. It wouldn't be that important but I'm running a media reform group and now there's an assertion on record that I've engaged in the fraudulent practice of trying to pass off something else as an answer to an interview question when I did no such thing. 

Again, here's the pertinent sentence: "But in the second part of the game, he applied as my 'answer' a paragraph from a column I'd written about something else." I didn't portray that as an "answer" to a question I asked him at all; I introduced it accurately as being from a previous Dallas Morning News column. Do you see what I mean?

The letter in the magazine makes plain that you asked Davis a question and he responded. Then you examined something he'd written. That's accurate, is it not?

But to answer your question: yes, you can respond. It'll have to be online, though.

Is there any way I could have a response to Davis' letter ran in the next issue? As it is now, the letter has been run without any note explaining that his charge that I fraudulently ran something that wasn't actually his response to the question is entirely false, so anyone who reads the letters in this month issue will assume that I have lied to the entire readership and fraudulently tried to pass off something else as an answer to my question, and you've already explained to Davis his mistake.
